"Suffer the little children to come unto Me..."

2008-06-10T15:28:00.004-05:00

The Lord has been pleased to add to His church another young man by the name of Jed Boyer. Jed is 15 years old, has attended Bible Baptist all of his life and is the son of our secretary.

Following are the words of his testimony: "I come to you now as a sinner brought to repentance and salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. I thought I was saved a few years ago but I know I wasn't. The feeling is so different and the only thing you want to do is praise the Lord for all He has done for you. A few weeks ago the Lord began dealing with my heart and several days ago I was lying in bed and was crying and thinking on what would happen if I died; because I knew I would go to hell and I got scared and could not take it. I was up for awhile just thinking about it and I finally went to sleep from being so tired. The next morning I was thinking, "you know, I can't keep putting this kind of thing off." I used to think I could get saved whenever I wanted, but the truth is we are not promised tomorrow and I could have died at any time. I was still afraid... but the Lord was still with me and the fear of my sin was still with me. I did not know what to do and I was scared. I talked to my mom and she said I should read my Bible and pray and ask for forgiveness for my sin and also that we should talk to Brother Henry; he would know what to do. So, we went to talk to Brother Tom and he said he was just like me and he used to lie awake at night thinking "what if I were to die" and right then I thought I had to get the Lord in my heart because if I don't I will die a sinner. I know we are all born sinners but to be reborn into life in the Lord and praise His name forever is the thing sought for. We talked and we prayed and in that moment my sins and by burdens were forgiven and that is the greatest thing anyone could ask for. To all you who are not saved, pray for yourself; just think on what you should do because I will be praying or you. Thank you."

Jed made his confession on May 25 and was baptized the following Sunday, June 1, 2008.

Yet another young man has been under conviction of the Lord; Christian Henry, the grandson of our Assistant Pastor, also gave his testimony on June 1 and was baptized that evening.

Following are his own words also: "I have been going to church for my entire life. I have listened to sermons, Sunday school lessons and testimonies, but God used Jed's testimony last week to really speak to me.

I was in bed Monday night thinking about Jed's testimony when it really occurred to me that my sins were dragging me to hell. Needless to say, I couldn't sleep. So, on Tuesday, I talked to my dad about my need for a savior, and he read Matthew chapter 7 to me. In Matthew 7 it talks about building your house on a rock, instead of sand, and dad explained how Jesus is the rock and this world is the sand. Then dad talked to me about how Jesus says in Matthew 7 that those who seek Him will find Him, and those who ask Him for forgiveness will get forgiveness. So, I asked to talk to my granddad.

Granddad picked me up on Wednesday, and we spent the day together. He told me that the Bible is the "bread of life," and we can't live without the Bible, like we can't live without food. Then we prayed together, and I asked God for forgiveness. God answered my prayer."

As you can see, Christian and Jed are young, however, when the Lord gives salvation, the change in the individual is so dramatic that those around can witness and attest to the fact that the Lord has indeed visited these young men.

"AND THE LORD ADDED TO HIS CHURCH DAILY..."

2008-03-18T14:25:00.005-05:00

Over the last several months the Lord has been pleased to add to His church......

Back in June, 2007, on the 3rd, Nathan Silverberg was presented to the church for membership by Assistant Pastor Tom Henry. Nathan grew up in the church attending with his parents, Jeff and Mary, who have been members since 1997. Nathan gave his testimony about thinking of Judgment Day and knew he was not prepared. He began praying for preparation for the coming of the Lord Jesus and for forgiveness for his sins. He read from Romans 6 and stated that he believes he has found it in the blood of Jesus Christ alone. Nathan was then baptized the following Sunday.

Following Nathan, several months later in October, a woman named Gina Fusco came to know the Lord under the sound preaching of Pastor Holmes Moore and Assistant Pastor Tom Henry. Gina had been attending for several weeks and stated that she grew up "in church" and thought she was "saved" but had just "gotten away" from attending and was feeling guilty about not going anywhere. After hearing the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, she realized she did, in fact, not know the Lord and was under strong conviction of sin, and finally, that she could do nothing to save herself; it was through the merits of Christ alone. Upon coming to this realization, she cried out to God for forgiveness and has come to understand the true meaning of grace and forgiveness of sin. She was then baptized on October 28th. and has gone on to become a faithful member of the church.

Finally, we have Tanner Juch. Tanner, also, grew up in the church, and in fact, is the grandson of our Assistant Pastor and had been counselling with him for quite some time. As a young teenage boy with his heart heavy from sin, he knew the only way to find relief was to turn to Christ but didn't know what to do, so he talked with his mother, Gina; who encouraged him and told him to read his Bible, pray, and talk with his grandfather. After many conversations, Tanner cried out to the Lord and believes he was heard and has received forgiveness for sin and life through the Lord Jesus Christ. He was baptized on November 18, 2007.

ANOTHER PLUCKED FROM THE BURNING...

2008-03-07T15:46:00.001-06:00

Tuesday, August 7, 2007

Praise the Lord for Salvation in Jesus Christ! The Lord added to His flock Sunday evening in the confession of a young man named David Coverdell. David is 18 years old and has attended Bible Baptist Church with his mother all of his life, however, his teenage years have been those of sin and rebellion, moving away from home and seeking his own will...to the point of having to spend several nights in the county jail. But God is still in control of the hearts of men and through the burdened prayers of many, He used these last weeks dealing with David, showing him his sin and his need of a Saviour. In turmoil and despair David cried out to the Lord, and He heard his prayer. After consulting with David, Pastor Moore said of him, "I've never seen a more contrite spirit and broken heart in a person. He (David) felt he didn't even deserve to ask for forgiveness." (Those who belong to the Lord completely understand this.) During David's profession of faith in Jesus Christ, Pastor Moore told us he asked of him, "What if the Lord has for you to be a preacher or missionary in some remote country?" David's response after a moment's contemplation was, "Well, if that's what the Lord has for me, then so be it...wherever and whatever, if it's for the Lord." The Church gladly received his testimony, and David was then baptized.
